Mental Health - Southwestern State Hospital - Publication Record Set Files

 Series
Identifier: 082-09-025

Scope and Contents

This series contains the staff newsletter published by and for the personnel and patients of the Southwestern State Hospital in Thomasville and its affiliate, Bainbridge State Hospital. A typical five-page issue might contain: (1) announcements of promotional opportunities and job vacancies (2) reminders to personnel of hospital rules (3) memorandums from hospital officials (4) personal notes including welcomes to new employees, thank-you's, etc. (5) a chaplain's meditation page (6) weekly menus (7) official announcements of changes in or initiations of new hospital procedures. It is apparent that some time after the government Reorganization of 1972, the newsletter changed to a weekly format, but many issues are missing. Consequently, it is important to check the finding aid carefully for available numbers. For newsletters published before the Reorganization of 1972, please see Record Group 26-15-91.
